I do agree about Bill’s legacy and her needing to do the right thing to protect it. But I still know a lot of Dems that really have lost a lot of respect for him. \

I wonder if this poll was taken today what his numbers would be.
Greatest President Poll

Abraham Lincoln: 18%
Ronald Reagan: 16%
John Kennedy: 14%
Bill Clinton: 13%

George Washington: 7%
Harry Truman: 3%

Theodore Roosevelt: 2%
Dwight Eisenhower: 2%
Thomas Jefferson: 2%
Jimmy Carter: 2%
Gerald Ford: 1%
George H. W. Bush: 1%

Have to agree with Michael about the vetting. And, the one thing I can say about Hillary, although her whining about it is grating, she does have a point when she says she’s been thoroughly vetted already. I honestly can’t imagine there’s ANY stone that has remained unturned there.

I guess the only other way to look at it though, is that Bill’s legacy and standing in the party (as well as her own future) is hanging in the balance now- much more than I think anyone would have thought six months ago. She may want to avoid a lot more discussion of their negatives just on that basis.

The next question is the VP slot. Does she really want it or just to be asked? The vetting process is brutal, does she REALLY want her, and especially Bill’s records and finances to be fully vetted or does she want a theatrical effect? Only she knows for sure.

Why in God’s name wouldn’t she want to be vetted for VP? She wanted to become President, remember?

He doesn’t need her on the ticket. She has the choice to uphold what she promised she would do before and support him. Of course that would suggest that Clinton would be trustworthy to uphold that pledge and that means that she didn’t lie when making it. Tall order for Clinton to fulfill.

It’ll be a better day in American Politics when she quits the race and a great day in America when the general election comes and goes and she’s nowhere to be found on any ticket.
